Title: Improvements in Machinery for Filling and Stoppering Screwstoppered-bottles.
Inventor: BINNS PICKLES
Filed: 1900-08-25
Granted: 1901-08-17
Abstract: 15,150. Binns, P. Aug. 25. Bottling; stopper ing. - Relates to a machine for filling and stoppering s c r e w - stoppered bottles. The bottle B is placed on a spring - controlled support a, which i adjustably conneoted to a spindle b coupled to a lever a<5> operated by a cam 14 on shaft 16 driven from the main shaft p. The stopper is held by a clutch, the jaws of which are pivoted together and controlled by a spring 6, Fig. 5. Projecting arms 7 on the end of a shaft h engage the jaws. A clamping-device c, in which is secured a rubber ring for making a joint against the neck of the bottle, is brought into operation by being forced against a bearing e by means of a lever f operated by a cam f<11> on the shaft 16. The shaft h is controlled by a spring h<1>, and operated by a cam o on the shaft p. A bevel-wheel m, mounted so as to slide on the shaft h, is adapted to gear with racks on discs p<1>, p<11> secured to the shaft p. An adjusting-piece m<1> of hexagonal or other suitable shape is secured to the wheel m. Liquid is supplied through a pipe 20 provided with a valve operated by a cam 22, and a syrup pump 24 operated by a cam 26 is also provided. When aÙrated liquids or liquids under pressure are to be fed to the bottles, a snift valve 25 is operated by projections on the disc p<1>. In operation, a bottle is inserted when the support a is lowered by the action of the cam 14. On the return of the support the stopper is gripped by the clutch, and the cam f<11> forces the rubber ring against the bottle neck, and also forces a gripping-part e<1> against the spindle b so as to retain it in place. The rack on the disc p<1> now engages the wheel m so as to rotate the shaft h and unscrew the stopper, the cam o moving so as to allow the shaft h to rise. The pump 24 is now operated to supply the syrup, and the liquid-supply and snift valves are opened, after which the rack on the disc p<11> comes into operation to screw the stopper into the bottle neck. This rack is longer than the rack on the disc p<1>, so that the stopper will be given a greater turn inwards to secure it firmly in place. The further rotation of the cam f<11> now releases the parts previously brought into action, and the cam 14 lowers the support a, so that the bottle can be withdrawn and the operation repeated. The cams 22 and 26 may be moved on the shaft p by a lever &c., such as the lever v, so that they may be made to operate at the proper time. When a still liquid is to be bottled, the pump and snift valve may be dispensed with. The mechanism for removing and inserting the stoppers may be applied to other bottling-mechanisms.

Title: Improvements in Ventilating Apparatus for Railway-coaches, Tramcars, Omnibuses and similar Vehicles.
Inventor: LAGNA-FIETTA LUDOVICO
Filed: 1901-07-23
Granted: 1902-01-23
Abstract: 14,966. Lagna-Fietta, L. July 23. Ventilating omnibuses and like vehicles. On the shaft D secured to the roof O is a loose sleeve G carrying the spur-wheel H and the vanes B of the motor fan. The wheel H drives the pinion H<1> on the shaft N revolving in the sleeve H<2>, which is adjustably mounted in the forked bracket K secured to the shaft D, stayed by bars C above which revolve three horizontal bars carrying, at their respective outer ends, a wind-sail, a windscreen, and a counterbalance, the parts being arranged so that, as the vehicle moves, the wind-sail places the screen in a position to prevent contrary air currents from affecting the motor fan. The vanes B' of the ventilating-fan are carried by arms B<2> screwed into the loose sleeve T<2>, which is normally caused by the spring C' to engage the cone T pinned to the shaft N. When the handle Q is turned through 90‹, the cam S<2> acts on the rings P<3> and lifts the rods P<2> and the bar R<3>, compressing the spring C<1>. As the bar R<3> rises, the bar R<1> descends, taking with it the rods P<1>, which cause the arms R<2> to press on the flange of the sleeve T<3> and draw the movable member T<1> of the clutch from the fixed member T. On restoring the handle Q to its original position, the converse action takes place, the springs C<2> raising the arms R<2> while the spring C<1> forces the sleeve T' against the cone T.
Patent GB-190115472-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Devices for the Production of Starch and like Moulds.
Inventor: CARLSON GABRIEL
Filed: 1901-07-30
Granted: 1901-11-16
Abstract: 15,472. Carlson, G. July 30. Moulding starch.-Relates to the production of starch and like moulds such as are employed for casting confectionery. The starch to be moulded is contained in a tray 45, above which is the vertically-reciprocating head 18. The head 18 carries a platen 19, on which the mould-forming dies are fixed. The head 18 is carried by slides 20, and is reciprocated by connecting-rods 16, which are driven by toothed crank discs 13 on a shaft 12. The connecting-rods have a screwed joint at 16<a>, and pass through pivoted bearings 17, which allow of their angular movement. Sprocketwheels 22 are spliced to the rods, and are connected by a chain, so that, when the length of either rod is adjusted by the hand-wheel 26, the other is adjusted with it. A cushioning-spring 25 allows the head to yield in case the rods are shortened too much in adjustment. The toothed crank disc 13 is driven by a toothed sector 44, which swings about its pivot 43 by reason of its pin-and-socket connection with the toothed gear 6, which is itself driven from the main shaft 3. This method of driving ensures a very slow and steady movement of the platen during the actual moulding operation. A toothed wheel 9, driven from the main shaft 3, carries a bevel-wheel which gears with another wheel splined to a vertical shaft 29, which moves with the head 18. The shaft 29 drives a horizontal shaft 34 through bevel gearing 33, and on this shaft is mounted a toothed disc 35, which sets in vibration a pivoted arm 37 carrying a hammer 39. The hammer strikes the upper surface of the platen and serves to clear the dies from adhering starch.
